Johns Hopkins Launches New U.S. COVID-19 Map

On April 13, 2020, Johns Hopkins launched its newest COVID-19 U.S. map as a resource for media, policymakers and communities to view a collection of critical public health data in one online destination and better understand and track the COVID-19 pandemic in populations both large and small across the country.

The new U.S. map provides the following information to better highlight the spread and impact of COVID-19 and provide contextual data on a county level:

- Density of the outbreak and its effect on counties
- Localized stay-at-home policies and effective date
- County-level confirmed cases and deaths compared to the state levels of each
- State-level testing data
- Race and ethnicity data for each county
- Poverty rate for each county
- Health insurance by type for each county
- Number of residents per county in the highest risk age category 65+
- Hospital capacity data, baselines of licensed beds, staffed beds, and ICU beds

Johns Hopkins’ goal is to make this data as publicly and widely available as possible.
